Guys,

I need help making a decision here. I have a '96 Saleen S281 with 85,000 miles on it. Tonight, my brother mentioned to me that he knows a guy that wants to get rid of a new '01 4.6 GT engine. My question is the following:

If you were me, would you spend roughly $1,500 and do the engine swap? (basically giving me a brand new car that runs stronger and gives the car a longer life span).

Last night, my water pump started making noises and I may have a slight oil leak (the LOW OIL light is on).

Thanks,
Mike
